Two Affirmations for BlackBerry Security: UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Reaction to Hyper-Secure SecuTABLEThttp://bizblog.blackberry.com/2015/03/blackberry-security-david-cameron/
http://bizblog.blackberry.com/2015/03/blackberry-security-david-cameron/#commentsWed, 18 Mar 2015 14:51:21 +0000http://bizblog.blackberry.com/?p=15857/ Read More]]>If you’re at the top, you’ve got to have the top equipment – no matter which side of the “pond” you happen to be on.

This was highlighted earlier this week by British Prime Minister David Cameron in a video interview with BuzzFeed.

As we reported last year, Cameron feels comfortable with his ability to handle anything on the go armed with his BlackBerry. “Wherever I am in the world, I am always within a few feet of a BlackBerry and an ability to manage things should they need to be managed,” he said.

He maintained that point in his BuzzFeed interview, saying “I have a BlackBerry which I use for work, which is very good for email.”

When pressed on the issue, Cameron reiterated, “They’re good. The Government has a BlackBerry service. They’re actually very good for emails and documents.”

There’s now a new tablet these leaders could add to their very small lists of approved devices: the SecuTABLET, also announced earlier this week as the result of a partnership between BlackBerry-owned Secusmart, Samsung and IBM.

A Secure Tablet, You Say?

Based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 running Android, the SecuTABLET is built with security designed to satisfy the special needs of government leaders and regulated enterprises.The same anti-surveillance technology behind the Secusmart Security Card’s encrypted voice and messaging, already used by Merkel and others in the German government, also secures the new SecuTABLET.

“Organizations deploying the SecuTABLET will be able to set policies controlling what apps can run on the devices, and whether those apps must be wrapped,” explained IBM Germany spokesman Stefan Hefter, as reported by the IDG News Service.

“The wrapping process – in which an app is downloaded from a public app store, bundled with additional libraries that encrypt its network traffic and intercept Android ‘intents’ for actions such as cutting or pasting data, then uploaded to a private app store – ensures that corporate data can be protected at rest, in motion and in use,” he said. “For instance, it can prevent data from a secure email being copied and pasted into the Facebook app running on the same device – yet allow it to be pasted into a secure collaboration environment, or any other app forming part of the same ‘federation.’”

As ZDNet’s Sean Portnoy writes, “As proof of just how secure the SecuTABLET aims to be, the German Federal Office for Information Security is currently putting it through its certification process to grant it a classified-level security rating.”

Can you say any of that about your garden-variety tablet?

And while the SecuTABLET costs more than typical Android tablets, Mashable declares that “for the global organizations BlackBerry is targeting, safeguarding high-stakes data is often well worth the cost.”

“BlackBerry has always been at the forefront of email on go, with its excellent physical keyboard now backed up by the impressive messaging handling of the BlackBerry 10 operating system,” it wrote. “The big advantage with the BlackBerry Passport is the firm’s excellent support for business users.”

The SecuTABLET renews our commitment to ultra-secure communications for those that need and demand it.

Home Hardware Stores Limited is Canada’s largest Dealer-owned hardware, lumber, building materials and furniture cooperative. The company is owned by close to 1,100 independent small business operators from every corner of the country.

Home Hardware Stores Limited recently adopted BES12 to manage its complex mobility environment. In this two-minute story, you’ll hear John R. Dixon, Director, Corporate Infrastructure, talk about why security matters to Home Hardware and how BES12 is helping them to easily deploy applications and manage their mobile environment.

Flexible and Secure

Home Hardware staff have been dedicated BlackBerry users for years, and with BES12, administrators can now manage their new and legacy BlackBerry smartphones. Adopting BES12 also leaves the door open for bringing iOS, Android, Windows and soon Samsung KNOX enabled devices into the environment on one Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platform.
In the video, John comments that BlackBerry’s mobile app management capabilities are better than a lot of the other options on the market. Company-approved productivity apps can be pushed out to devices individually or can be downloaded from the app catalogue – and from there, IT can manage each app with precise control throughout its lifecycle.

With BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic devices, Home Hardware is able to use BlackBerry Blend in their environment. BlackBerry Blend is software that can be downloaded for your computer and tablet that seamlessly and securely brings messaging and content that’s on your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer and tablet. As a result, employees are increasingly bringing their personal iPads and Android tablets to work. As Dixon points out, BES12 allows the option for personal preference while giving the organization full management control of devices, particularly when they’re using Blend.

Making Management Easy

Adding, managing, and removing devices is simple, regardless of platform. A minimalist design approach provides a very clean and intuitive user interface for administrators, making a multi-platform environment easy to manage for all user, device and server configurations.

And as always, BlackBerry Technical Support is there to help. Dixon explains that the support they receive from BlackBerry is always handled very well and very quickly. To hear it in his own words, why not take two minutes and check out the video.

“It is increasingly essential… that the risks posed by mobile technologies are matched by effective controls and countermeasures.”

How secure is your enterprise data?

Only 35% of business leaders are confident that their data is protected from mobile threats, and the majority believe that mobile devices are the weakest link in their enterprise security framework.

They also indicate that the number of data breaches in their organizations have increased in the last 12 months. There is an increasing need for truly secure Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions, consideration of mobile deployment types and policies, and mobility partners that provide secure, future-ready solutions.

Steve West is a senior director on the QNX Cloud team and led the participants through an in-depth presentation, answering questions and giving examples of how IoT can accelerate time to market, and enhance the experience of customers.

Here’s a quick way to think about it: Imagine that your company makes kiosks that sell movie tickets. You’ve got a brand new product in locations around North America. With the cloud-based secure applications platform from QNX Software Systems, you can remotely debug, acquire logs, and push software updates to every kiosk simultaneously, dramatically accelerating the development cycle. Gone are the days of sending a technician to plug in, and download logs from hundreds (or thousands!) of machines by hand.

It doesn’t stop there. The secure public applications platform can dramatically enhance the customer experience. Imagine the kiosk recommending a movie at the theater based on a customer’s Netflix history or suggesting food by tapping into previous Yelp! reviews!

Security

Security remains top of mind for anyone considering an IoT strategy for his or her company or product. We heard that message loud and clear — almost half the questions asked were about security.

Security is never a simple topic, but in simplest terms, the secure applications platform has you covered, end to end. The platform leverages BlackBerry’s pedigree in security to protect your data as it moves from device to cloud, and then back again.

Cross Platform Support

Another question that’s been popping up is around supported platforms. The secure application platform is cross-platform. Yes it will work with QNX OS-based embedded devices, and BlackBerry technology – but we are also providing support for Android, iOS, and Linux if that’s your preferred flavor.

Developer Support

With Alec Saunders leading the QNX Cloud team you know that developers are going to be treated like royalty. We’ve designed the secure applications platform from the ground up to be developer friendly, with tons of APIs and pages of documentation. There are going to be more details for developers as we approach the public launch of the program, so keep an eye on the BlackBerry Developer Blog.

What possibilities are you imagining?

We are currently working with select partners, and are always looking for more. If you think your business is a good match for what we’ve been showing, please reach out to businesstransformation@qnx.com for an opportunity to get early access. The Internet of Things is just the beginning, and with the secure applications platform, you’ve got a head start.

If you missed Part 1 on Multi-Platform EMM or Part 2 on Mobile Security, be sure to take a look in order to get up to speed.

BYOD has made things complicated for mobility management in businesses over the past year or two. It’s a trend that has sharply grown, but that doesn’t make the transition or allowance simple and straightforward for IT managers. Most businesses are now facing a complicated mix of corporate-owned devices, BYOD devices, and corporate owned but personally enabled devices. How can such mixes, with their varying platforms, security requirements, and functionality, be managed by a single vendor and solution? Watch the video below to discover the answers and to get tips on what to look for as you build your case for the best path to follow.

Some say that BYOD is here to stay, and will be covered by almost all major businesses in the coming years. Others see the pendulum eventually swinging back to corporate-owned devices due to the potential risks and costs.

Where do you see this trend going in the future in the context of your business? Answer in the comments below and be sure to give us a shout at @BlackBerry4Biz.

However, in the case of BlackBerry 10, it’s a real powerhouse loaded with fantastic functionality. When we work on the move, it’s critical to have the ability to download, modify, and organize files. This native BlackBerry app lets you access and manage multiple sources of content through a single, simple-to-use interface. Check out the video below to learn more about the File Manager on BlackBerry 10:

When your BlackBerry 10 smartphone is managed by BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, File Manager becomes an invaluable tool no business should be without. You can use BlackBerry Work Drives to map a network drive to your device’s File Manager, allowing you to browse and interact with files on your corporate drives.

This app allows for seamless access and transfer of files that are externally or internally stored on your BlackBerry device, as well as files managed by Dropbox or your business’ server. This mix of offline and online storage means you can create, edit, save and transfer any kind of office document while on the go, from the comfort of your device. And with BES 10 you can be sure that your content will remain protected and secure.

http://bizblog.blackberry.com/2013/06/push-enterprise-apps/#commentsThu, 06 Jun 2013 14:27:42 +0000http://bizblog.blackberry.com/?p=10989/ Read More]]>John Mutter and Brent Thornton, of the BlackBerry Enterprise Developer Partnerships team, have contributed this post for the Inside BlackBerry for Business Blog.

Enterprise apps are changing the way that we work, undoubtedly for the better. Access to behind-the-firewall data for a workforce that is constantly on the move provides increased productivity, can reduce the margin of error in reporting, fosters collaboration, and the list goes on.

Building push technology into your enterprise apps takes things to a whole new level. Push is an essential component of the real-time, always-on experience of BlackBerry devices. It offers an incredibly efficient and reliable way of sending information to your users in real time. Check out the video below for our take on push technology in enterprise apps:

IMPORTANT: Do not load the app by side loading as it loads to the personal space. Your application needs to be deployed from BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 in order to make use of enterprise push. This way the app will appear in the work space and can be received through BlackBerry World for Work.

Once deployed, launch your application (You must run your application at least once to have it register with the push service).

Start pushing :)

Breaking it down – The Important Stuff

Taking a look at PushManager.cpp, here is what happens in the code:

You kick off by registering your application with the Push Service using your Application ID and Invoke-target ID.

Once the channel is completed successfully, push is ready to go. There are a few additionally items you will want to take care of. In our code you will see:

m_pushService->registerToLaunch();

This tells the push service to launch the application when a push arrives. This needs to happen if you plan on processing the push. If you only want to see push data when the app is open, this step is not needed.

Now for the most important piece of the puzzle, what to do with the push payload? When a push arrives on the device the Push Service checks what Application ID in the push header matches an application on the device that has registered with the same Application ID. It then invokes the application associated with that ID.

In the constructor of the PushHandler class we registered the invoked SIGNAL with an invoked SLOT function.

//Read all the push data from the payload
QString message = payload.data();

You can choose to process the data however you like. In our case we interpret the priority and update the UI and notifications accordingly.

Common Push issues in the Enterprise:

If you have any other samples that were built in cascades and aren’t working: Make sure you remove the following from the bar-descriptor.xml file. It is for public push only.

<permission system="true">_sys_use_consumer_push</permission>

If you have read about the Push Service SDK anywhere for the server, you can use this in the enterprise, but it is not necessary. It is much easier to build the HTTP POST yourself on the server. The Push Service SDK is a great tool for consumer push.

Make sure your invoke-target id’s are unique and match between the code and the bar-descriptor.xml file.

Fun Fact of the day

You can register an app target with multiple application ID’s if you like. That way, a different Push transaction can perform different tasks within the same application.

The Push Server

Building applications that leverage Enterprise Push is easier than you think. The process involves a server-initiated HTTP POST transaction to the BlackBerry Enterprise Service hosted by your company. Before you begin, you need a few details from your BlackBerry Server Administrator to be successful.

BlackBerry Enterprise Service Host Name

BlackBerry Enterprise Service Push Port

E-Mail Address or PIN of the Application User (Although the E-Mail address is recommended)

You will also need the following details from the Developer of the client application on the BlackBerry.

The unique BlackBerry Application ID from the BlackBerry Application you are pushing to

The format of the data payload you intend to push (e.g. JSON, XML, Text, etc…)

Once you have obtained this information, I have written a C# sample Method that will complete the HTTP POST transaction for you. Keep in mind, there are a lot of additional options and headers you can find on the BlackBerry Developer Website.

There’s always significant anticipation for the BlackBerry Live keynote general session , and this year was no different as attendees, partners, customers, and developers were able to experience the vision for the future here at BlackBerry.
